Cape Town - Two private investigators and a police officer have appeared in a Cape Town court in connection with the murder of a homeless man, it was reported on Tuesday.

The body of the homeless man, Algyn Bester, was found a few hundred metres from a Kraaifontein shelter where he slept last Friday. His hands and feet were bound and the investigators and police officer were on the scene when police arrived, the Cape Argus reported.

The investigators, Hendric Jones and John Ross, and police officer Hester Blom had tracked down Bester after he allegedly stalked and sent lewd messages to a 22-year-old woman.

An attorney representing the trio said Bester had stalked the woman “over a lengthy period”.

Blom says when she and Jones and Ross had found Bester and confronted him, he pulled a knife on them.
